It’s that time of year again! Ode to the exhilaration, goodwill, and ever mounting work that comes with closing your business year while maximizing your holiday festivities.

During this busy time of year let your Brain be your digital assistant so you can stay focused on your key goals and events.

Navigating through someone’s Brain gives you a very intimate look at who they are. You can learn a lot about that person not only by the Thoughts they’ve chosen to add, but also the way things are connected.

Creating a Brain that moves beyond the sum of its parts usually happens by accident as your Thoughts and ideas grow. But actually taking on the task of self-reflection and exploration using TheBrain can be just as fun and rewarding. With this in mind, let’s explore some ideas for purposefully mind mapping yourself.

Creating an effective information environment that extends your projects and thinking beyond your physical office is absolutely paramount for home office productivity. Use TheBrain to bridge the gaps so you can focus on your tasks wherever you are, and gain a visual network of resources that keeps you at the top of your game.

If you don’t have your family or colleagues in your Brain you are missing out.

Creating a people centric Brain will improve the quality of your interactions so you can remember key details that might otherwise be forgotten.
